Meniscal microtissues are fabricated using progenitor cells isolated from the inner (iMPCs) and outer (oMPCs) regions of the meniscus. Meniscal microtissues fuse into cohesive constructs rich in sGAG and collagen. cABC treatment modulates collagen fiber formation and organization in assembled grafts.

Nanomedicines Against Mitochondrial Dysfunction‐Induced Metabolic Diseases
Mitochondrial dysfunction is central to metabolic diseases. Nanomedicine offers transformative approaches for restoring function via targeted delivery, responsive release, and multimodal therapy. This review outlines the pathological basis, nanocarrier design, organelle‐specific targeting, recent advances, and future clinical translation challenges ...

Avian neural crest cell migration is diversely regulated by the two major hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans PG-M/versican and aggrecan [PDF]
It has been proposed that hyaluronan-binding proteoglycans play an important role as guiding cues during neural crest (NC) cell migration, but their precise function has not been elucidated.

Selectivity in glycosaminoglycan binding dictates the distribution and diffusion of fibroblast growth factors in the pericellular matrix [PDF]
The range of biological outcomes generated by many signalling proteins in development and homeostasis is increased by their interactions with glycosaminoglycans, particularly heparan sulfate (HS).
